Klopp To Miss Liverpool, Sunderland Clash Due To Illness

Jurgen Klopp will not be parading the sidelines in his usual hyperactive style on Saturday when Liverpool host Sunderland, due to illness.
Liverpool announced Klopp’s unavailability in a brief statement on their website: “Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will be absent from today’s Barclays Premier League fixture against Sunderland at Anfield, after suffering a suspected bout of appendicitis.

“First-team duties will be overseen by the remaining members of the coaching staff, including Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz, Pepijn Lijnders and John Achterberg.”
